Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 09/22/2009 9:43 pm alganbagerap- Coins 2, 3, 4 & 5 are actually all the same. They are KM #57. All 4 are pice struck in the Bengal Presidency by the East India Company from 1806-1835, which is why they are struck on round blanks rather than hammered. They have the frozen date of the 37th year of the reign of Shah Alam (Though he was dead by 1806). Number 7 is 1/4 Anna from the Princely State of Gwalior, and I believe that it is KM3 177.

Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 09/23/2009 04:41 am #1 and #6 also appear to be the same, or at least similar: Baroda 1 or 2 paisa coins from the late 1800's. #1 is dated VS 1949 (= AD 1892), #6 is dated VS 1943 (= AD 1886). The 1 and 2 paisa have very similar designs; the 1 paisa is 25mm across, the 2 paisa is 29mm. There appears to be some kind of die or planchet flaw on #1, connecting the central hoof with the sword. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
